Roller derby helped me love my body
This is a success story not because of weight loss but because of body image gained. I am not a heavy person, but I am definitely a pear shaped one. I have a small chest and large hips, butt, and thighs. I always felt akward because my 2 halves never matched and especially during my teen years I tried everything I could…

I MADE ARMOR!!
So proud of myself. I used Wonderflex to make a breastplate for myself this weekend. It isn't professional grade or anything, but it will fit and I have warm fuzzies from getting it done, lol.

Dragon Con
OK, so I am in a bit of a dilemma. A friend backed out of the room he was going to share with me and Hubby for Dragon Con and I cannot get the room changed to a single. Anyone here need a place to stay? We will be at the Marriott so it is a host hotel. I am also checking Facebook and such, but man I really need someone to…

SHERLOCK IS BACK ON NETFLIX!!!
I don't have cable (we got rid of it after I got preggo with #2 and apply it to daycare) and so now that the next 3 episodes are on Netflix DH and I have been watching it every night! I love how Benedict Cumberbatch plays the character and Marty Freeman is a GREAT straight man. Just thought I would share my enthusiasm with…

Using Measurements and not sure what to do
OK, so I started roller derby last year and that along with my other work outs do ALOT of squats so my ample behind has gotten higher (noticably). Well, I am trying to use my measurements as progress, but my hip measurement has gotten an inch larger because more of my butt is up there, lol. I am just taking it as a good…

Short Waisted Girl Problems :-P
So, I am getting my pattern together to make my leotard for Maya (Borderlands 2) for Dragon Con. I KNEW I would have to modify it because I have almsot the shortest torso allowed with the parts I have (less than a finger width between my ribs and hip bone when standing). Well, I took my measurements and I have to take 4…

Photo Question
Ok, so I ahve these AWESOME shorts with a TARDIS on them and I want to take a picture wearing them and make it my avatar. The downside is that I have a HUGE booty and I really don't want people to think that I am trying to get hit on. What do you ladies think? I trust your opinion.

Determining Exercise Intensity
OK, so I was looking at the http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ and I was trying to decide on my activity level. I thought I would ask if I was in the 3-5 hrs a week moderate or the 5-6 hrs a week strenuous. I have enough 'time' for the strenuous, but I am not sure if the workouts THEMSELVES would…

Catagorizing my workouts
OK, so I was looking at the http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ and I was trying to decide on my activity level.

Losing weight in all the wrong places
Hi everyone,I could really use some advice. I have been working out consistently for a while now trying to lose the last bit of weight on my lower half (which is where I keep all my weight). The unfortunate thing is that I keep losing weight on top which is making it so I can almost see my ribs between my boobs. I really…

Getting a new routine
Alright, so I work on an AF base and we get fitness classes and 3 hours a week to take them (which rocks my world SOOO hard). The thing is that with the sequestration the classes are being cancelled, but I still get the gym time. I am not sure how to create my own workout that would give me the same intensity. Where is a…

How long before results?
This is just a for future reference question. My weight has been stable for a while now even while working out and eating under my calories, and I have started to incorporate more strength training to my cardio. I just wanted to know about how long before the inches start to come off? I am not expecting immediate results,…

I hate most veggies
OK, I said it. The only veggies I can stomach are baked sweet potatoes and tomato puree. Almost all the others make me gag (honestly) because they are soo bitter even carrots. I am hoping to find some green smoothie ideas that I can use to have for breakfast so I can get the benefits of the dark greens without the taste. I…

Lack of sleep and weight
I am asking this because my 14 month old has very poor sleep patterns and I wonder if the lack of sleep is causing my weight to fluctuate up some. I stay under my calories most days, but my weight will stay high even on my workout days. Could my sleep be the issue? Thanks.

Not sure what I need to do
OK, so I have already lost all the weight that I want or need to, but now I want to lose fat. I am 5'3" and 115 lbs and I have 2 children aged 3 and 1. My issue is that I have an extra layer of fat and even though I have acquired a good bit of muscle through exercise I can't see it in some places such as my stomach. My…

Trying something new for me
OK, so just a quick intro to me. My name is Laurel and I am an 28 year old environmental engineer and mommy of 2 kids (3 and 14 months). I have lost all the weight I want which is new (I am 5'3" and 114lb), but I want to start losing fat. I wear a body media band to track my calorie output and try to keep my input at about…
